The nozzle is sized so that an annular space is formed between the nozzle and the opening. Hot air is introduced through the annular space and mixes with and preheats, in a downstream portion of the opening the mixture passing, through the nozzle. The preheated mixture then passes into the furnace combustion chamber for combustion therein.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 2, 1998 and granted March 20, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 2, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 2, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
